enacts the theory of mimetic community or symmimesis
by engaging in an improvisational way of theatre performance
called, in general, Theatre in Community.
In this particular act it is called sociopathetic clowning,a physical form of theatre that draws from commedia dell’arte
and a variety of theorists/practitioners of physical theatre
in order to enact symmimetic theory.
Symmimetic theory asserts thatone’s humanity is being formed continuously
through mutual engagement with others.
This involvement is mimeticwhatever one’s level of engagement or disengagement.
